Avannaata

Avannaata extends from the island-fringed shore of Baffin Bay to the Greenland Ice Sheet, encompassing immense fjords, sea ice and glacier-cut coastlines in north-western Greenland. Communities including Uummannaq, Upernavik, Qaanaaq and Ilulissat are linked chiefly by air and sea rather than roads. Uummannaq lies on an island at the mouth of Uummannaq Fjord, while Ilulissat Icefjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for icebergs calved by Sermeq Kujalleq. Inuit traditions continue to shape life across the municipality, from fishing and hunting to local languages and seasonal travel.
